Description
The B183 Reverse Trip Ball Lever is an essential part of the Bridgeport vertical milling machine’s power feed trip assembly. This lever works with the trip ball, trip bracket, and feed transmission system to automatically disengage the feed at preset travel positions. Its hardened construction ensures long service life, smooth operation, and consistent performance even under heavy shop use.
Applications:
- Feed trip assemblies in milling machines
- Bridgeport-style automatic feed trip mechanisms
- Mechanical detent systems
- Precision linkages
- Trigger pins, selector detents, and ball-engagement mechanisms
- Any mechanism requiring controlled movement and positive engagement
Features:
- Dual ball-end design for smooth and accurate detent action
- Tight dimensional tolerance for precision assemblies
- Polished finish for reduced friction
- Durable stainless/hardened steel construction
- Lightweight but strong
Advantages:
- Improves reliability of feed disengagement
- Replaces worn or loose trip levers
- Reduces feed overrun and potential table/stop damage
- Enhances operator safety by ensuring accurate travel stops
About The Product:
This component is a precision-ground detent pin featuring two symmetrical ball-end sections designed to engage with mating recesses, springs, or trip mechanisms. It is typically used in automatic feed trip assemblies of milling machines (including Bridgeport-type), mechanical linkages, and high-precision trigger or detent systems.
More questions buyers ask
What is a Reverse Trip Ball Lever used for?
It is a critical component in the power feed trip assembly of vertical milling machines, ensuring the feed automatically disengages at preset travel positions.
Is this compatible with Bridgeport milling machines?
Yes, this Pentagon spare is designed to be compatible with Bridgeport-style Series 1 vertical milling machines and similar B-0183 models.
Why does the feed trip lever fail?
Over time, the ball ends can wear down or the spring mechanism can lose tension, leading to inaccurate feed disengagement or table overrun.
What are the key dimensions of this lever?
The lever has a total length of 21.2mm, with a ball-end diameter of 6.2mm and a center section diameter of 6.1mm.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Pentagon provides standard manufacturing defect coverage. Please contact our support team for specific warranty terms on machine spares.
How do I install the B-0183 trip lever?
Installation typically involves removing the feed trip assembly cover, replacing the worn lever, and ensuring the spring and plunger are correctly seated.
Can this be used in other machinery?
While designed for B-0183 milling machines, its double-ball symmetrical design makes it suitable for various mechanical detent and trigger systems.
What material is the lever made of?
It is constructed from hardened steel to ensure durability and smooth operation under repetitive mechanical stress.
Do you provide GST invoices for this purchase?
Yes, all purchases from Gearo include a valid GST invoice for tax credit purposes.
How long does delivery take across India?
We offer pan-India shipping. Delivery times depend on your location, typically ranging from 3-7 business days.
Who should choose the B-0183 Reverse Trip Ball Lever?
This part is ideal for machine shop owners, maintenance technicians, and industrial repair facilities maintaining Bridgeport-style milling machines.
Is this a direct replacement for OEM parts?
Yes, it is manufactured to match the specifications of the original B-0183 trip lever for seamless integration.
How does this improve machine safety?
By ensuring the feed disengages accurately, it prevents table overrun, protecting both the workpiece and the machine's lead screw assembly.
